I kept Romans 8:28 in the bottom of my shoes while competing for Miss New York. It was my armor—walking on the word: “And we know that all things work together for the good of them that love Lord, and are CALLED according to His purpose.”

In spite of not being a native New Yorker, and being called first runner up in June, I am Miss New York. It required me to learn a completely new state and genuinely make it my new home. I remember dreaming about it happening—not knowing when or how to expect it, but having confirmation that it was mine. When I wasn’t crowned in June, I was so confused, because I just thought I had God’s plan all figured out. He didn’t tell me how I’d get it—He just told me I would because I was CALLED according to His purpose.

God knew what I needed, and where I needed to be in September, when my mom would have a stroke, unexpectedly. God knew that I needed to be present to help make decisions that would save her life...While He knew that becoming Miss America was a dream I always chased, God knew it wouldn’t mean more to me than being there for my heartbeat—my mom. I can’t imagine having been at @missamerica during that time. Mentally, I don’t think I would have been strong enough to compete knowing that the whole inspiration behind my social impact was at death’s door. God really does know what’s best for us, and we have to trust His plan, even when things don’t make sense in the moment. Sometimes, the biggest blessings come in disguise, and the most difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations. ✨

God’s word is “a lamp unto my feet, and a light ✨ unto my path.” Psalm 119:105. “If you keep God’s word under your feet, God will always place a ‘crown’ over your head. If you walk on the Word, God will put on the crown.” @stevencarterny

insanlık için çok küçük ama bu resim benim için ve bence benim gibi büyük değişim yaşayanlar için çok ama çok önemli ve anlamlı bir resim.Tüp mide ameliyatı ile 82kg verene kadar olan hayatımda sadece belki çizgi filmlerde gördüğüm ya da çok zayıf arkadaşlarımda gördüğüm bir sahneydi,bir ağacın arkasında gözükmemek.Bugün fark ettim,bir ağacın arkasına girdiğim zaman gözükmüyorum.Dediğim gibi o an çok değişik hissettim ama bu büyük değişim ayrıca çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettirdi beni.Bu duyguyu anlayan benimle şuanda aynı şeyleri hissettiğine eminim çünkü eskiden bir ağacın arkasına geçtiğim zaman sadece dalga konusu olurdum
INANMAKTAN VAZGEÇGEÇME ve ASLA PES ETME

The moment of this photograph is a big moment for me and for the people who has had a big change in their lives through a gastric sleeve surgery or bariatric surgery.Before I had lost 82kg all my life I was always a joke subject when I was trying to hide behind a tree.This moment was a big excitement and proud moment for me because I had the chance to see and understand how much I have achieved in my weight loss journey and in my new life.
NEVER GIVE UP and ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF

Heyyyy
Did you know the month of April is recognized as National Donate Life Month? This past weekend, I was fortunate to serve as the 10 Minute Motivational Speaker at Mt Ararat—and share the miracle story of how my brother David became our mom’s living kidney donor 13 years ago, on Easter Monday. It’s hard to find “the perfect match,” but we are so fortunate David “shared his spare.”
-
More often than not, what you go through has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with purpose. Like 90% of people affected, we don’t know the cause of mom’s kidney disease, but what we do know is David gave the gift of life, so that mom could have #ANewLife. Mom almost lost my brother at birth—yet he later turned out to be the same child who was used as a vessel to give life back to her. It took my mom almost 9 years to have me after Terrence—yet I became the one who would work towards advancement in research related to the very same disease that she fights every single day. God truly works in mysterious ways. ✨ #ItOnlyTakesOne
-
I am a proud advocate of living donation—because it improved my mom’s overall quality of life. I don’t know what life would be like if it wasn’t for this option. Mom was diagnosed with kidney disease when I was just 11 years old. Who’s to say she may have lived on dialysis for 15 years, when average life expectancy on dialysis is 5-10 years? For over half of my life, time has gone by knowing that every moment is precious. We just can’t take it, or people, for granted. I’ll never stop sharing our story because our story is like so many millions of Americans out there who are affected by the ninth leading cause of death.
-
Every April, we celebrate those that have saved lives through the gift of donation, and we encourage others to research the #LivingDonorProtectionAct, the @nationalkidneyfoundation’s #BigAskBigGive program & AAKP’s (@kidneypatients) efforts to push Congress towards expanding Immunosuppressive coverage from 36 months to the life of the transplant.
